Abdominal ultrasound

Ultrasound, also known as sonography, is a diagnostic technique that uses sound waves (ultrasound) to create images of organs, tissues, and organ structures that make up the digestive system. It is a basic test for the early diagnosis of pathologies and disorders that affect the liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas and kidneys.
